All About Steve (2009) |
"There's no footing in reality. Nothing about it feels authentic." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat D+ |
All About the Benjamins (2002) |
"Filled with low-brow humor, gratuitous violence and a disturbing disregard for life." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat |
All Over the Guy (2001) |
"Probably plays better on the stage. On film, the dialogue sometimes seems too writerly, too cute." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat 2/4 |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"It's too full of itself; it's too convinced of its own value to be much of any to audiences." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat |
All the Little Animals (1999) |
"Odd and banal." |
Jeff Millar |
Splat |
All the Pretty Horses (2000) |
"McCarthy deserves a better movie than this." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat |
Almost Famous (2000) |
"It's a lot like being invited to a friend's house to watch home movies, but he keeps the real stuff locked up and shows old programs he taped from television instead." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat 1/4 |
Alone in the Dark (2005) |
"Frighteningly bad cinema is the only thing scary about Alone in the Dark, which gives video-game movies an even worse name, if that's possible." |

Tomato |
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"If you tend to really analyze thrillers, and then get bugged when there are gaps in logic, save yourself the aggravation." |
Louis B. Parks |
Tomato B+ |
Along Came Polly (2004) |
"Though Polly packs ample comic punch, it also demonstrates that life isn't about the safe past or the uncertain future but the journeys we make each day." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Splat .5/4 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"Recovering from the Harlequin bathos of The Notebook, writer-director Nick Cassavetes directs this bogus-homeboy scenario as though his street cred depended on it." |

Amazing Grace (2007) |
"Director Michael Apted tells the story with dry devotion to parliamentary procedurals and a worshipful approach to Wilberforce. But [actor] Gruffudd lacks the intensity and charisma to pull it off." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato |
Amelie (2001) |
"So terrific it might single-handedly rescue the 'feel-good movie' from the garbage heap of overused and discredited phrases." |

America's Heart and Soul (2004) |
"Though none of these vignettes are long and some last only seconds, the movie felt endless." |

American Dreamz (2006) |
"In American Dreamz, the people are stereotypes, and the context is fake: It's broad, it's thin, it's a big easy target. And ultimately, its dreamz are hollow." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
American Gangster (2007) |
"It's a much better film than nine-tenths of what's out there on any given Friday, and if you're a fan of steak-and-potatoes crime drama, I highly recommend it." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat 2/4 |
American Hardcore (2006) |
"Instead of an insightful look at disaffected youths finding an outlet for angry energy in rock rages, American Hardcore is a slanted history lesson coming solely from its subjects." |

American Outlaws (2001) |
"A poor script and lame direction leave most of this Western deader than a dogie at a poisoned watering hole." |
Louis B. Parks |
Tomato |
American Pie (1999) |
"More likely to gross out adults than kids." |
|
Tomato |
American Pie 2 (2001) |
"Unlike most such sex comedies, it's not mean-spirited. Instead, like the original, it's an odd mix of ribaldry and innocence, titillation and tenderness, lasciviousness and love." |

American Psycho (2000) |

American Wedding (2003) |

Amistad (1997) |
"Halfway into Amistad comes the point where Steven Spielberg pulls the lever, and the stink and horror and bestialities of slavery spill around our ankles. We can't look away." |
Jeff Millar |

The Amityville Horror (2005) |

"Your response to its new sequel, Analyze That, may hinge on what you thought of the first film." |

Analyze This (1998) |
"What De Niro ends up doing is simply burlesquing himself, much as he would do if he were guest-hosting Saturday Night Live." |

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"Overly broad humor with little on its mind." |

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"Its close-ups of belted numbers command attention without truly commanding our hearts." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato |
Angel Eyes (2001) |
"This second half of the movie is almost as promising as the first. But the total abandonment of the initial tone and narrative strategy feels like a bait-and-switch scam." |
Eric Harrison |

Angel-A (2007) |
"[The] plot is warmed-over Capra, and it's no wonderful-life yarn." |
